Making ends meet as a family

The Kolbe patriarch explained that they weren't a wealthy family, but he made sure to give his children the best. He mentioned that he planned to take him to Cheslin's training session and watch all of his games.

Ahead of the Springboks game against Ireland on 6 July 2024, the father of three shared that he was feeling confident about the game.
